Easy solution would be to put Superchargers further from doors or entryways into the destination building.

Yep - same goes for the Audi Q5/7 - all the taillights were on the hatch:

Really wanted dual motor, and would've preferred a HUD or driver's side mounted gauge cluster. Initial runs not getting dual motor and doesn't look like anybody is getting a HUD or driver's side gauge cluster. I'm going to let my deposit continue to ride and will give the center mounted screen...

The problem with your argument is that I think many people signed up for different reasons. I signed up to give myself the opportunity to buy one if I decided it was worthwhile. I don't really care that much about the rEVolution, but I certainly don't oppose it either. I have no love for Big...

Will just be adding it to the fleet.

For me, it's a Need followed by a bunch of Wants: Need: - Dual Motor Want: - Bigger Battery - Leather Seats with Memory - Enhanced AutoPilot - Glass Roof - Paint - Upgraded wheels My budget will allow for about $10k in options, so however that is best achieved.

I voted not for profit, but my intention therein is that Tesla will use revenue from the SC network to reinvest into improving or expanding the network, meaning that such revenue won't actually get applied to their bottom line.

Even after placing the order, all that's on the line is the $1000 deposit, correct? Just becomes non-refundable at that time. Yes, it's still a decent chunk of money, but if it becomes clear that you're not going to be among those receiving the full credit (if you're dependent on it), then you...

Yeah, I don't think it's that likely, but we can hope, right? :) I'd guess everything I listed could probably be had for $50k, which is more than I'm willing to pay, so I'm going to have to make a tough decision on something.

This is actually brilliant and would mostly benefit American companies as a bi-product (GM and Tesla). Win-win-win for this administration.

Lots of interesting conjecture here. I really have no idea how pricing is going to stack up, but my budget will probably top out around $45k. For that, I'd like an upgraded battery, the D, AP, pano roof, paint and a wheel option. If the base battery comes with 250 miles of range, I doubt I'd...

It really depends on a lot of factors. For me, it's a few things, most of which boil down to overall cost: 1) Price of options - if they're too expensive and I can't get what I want, I will cancel. The Model 3 is expected to start at $35,000, which is 51.4% of the Model S base price. May be...

I'd say 10 months for sure. TSLA and SCTY employees will hopefully start receiving their cars in the fall, though I don't know how many of them are active here.

Really? I might be mis-remembering, but I thought GM said they planned to sell 30,000 Bolts per year. I really would be surprised if 30,000 Model 3's get built and delivered in 2017.

I'd say no for 2017. The Model 3 will outpace it easily beginning 2018.
